loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I swear there was another play Dimarco was downfield as well. But whatever, he shouldn’t even be out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This wasn't the only time a deep pass has been targeted to DiMarco this year. It's truly something that should never happen more than once and even that is one too many times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRA3196 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 That throw to DeMarco wasn't the only time he ran a "go" during the game. It just happened to stand out when Allen made the throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 He had position on the defenders. Should have caught it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookie Man Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 funny part is if he 4 more inches on his vertical, he probably catches it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaB Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I thought the defender slipped or something. When he released it it looked like Dimarco got behind him. It came out high giving the safety an opportunity to get over and the defender eventually caught up to Dimarco. Ball was still well placed and Dimarco had the best shot of getting even though he completely whiffed on the time to start his jump..... There was no one else open though, can’t blame him for trying to make a play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmart128 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Should have been caught. Had position... just a missed timed jump. I think Allen just sort of figured if he catches it great, if he gets interfered with great, an incompletion is no big deal. And if its intercepted its not that nich different then a punt. So it made it worth the risk to potentially get PI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No athleticism at all. Dimarco is also gone next year. I agree that he jumped too early but not that it was a bad throw. It was exactly on the money. Those kinds of drops and non-catches have plagued Allen all year, contributing to the "Allen isn't accurate" trope. Smurf receivers with bad hands backed up by practice squad players, that's what Allen has had all year. Is it any wonder he tries to do too much? Who else is going to make a play for him?

Royale with Cheese Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 The ball I don’t think was designed to go to DiMarco. Allen wasn’t looking his way until the very last moment. DiMarco was split out wide to take the safety with him. The play was going to someone else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And putting DiMarco downfield when you had the smarts to activate Duke....???? I just don’t get it. the thing i want to know is... and this is not the first time it has happened... why do our guys seem to jump too early to high point the ball on these 50/50 tosses down the field? i have noticed it several times by different receivers. something in the way Josh throws the ball that makes it hard to judge it or just not enough coaching or.... what?

He didn’t have many options; they dropped a ton of guys into coverage. Here’s the deal which makes some folks takes infuriating. People talk about letting your guys try to make plays. Allen let DiMarco try to make a play. DiMarco had inside position, Allen put it on the money, and if DiMarco times his jump better it’s a big play. But people go one and on about how Allen made a bad play there? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo86 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Clearly a FB who excels in catching balls 50 yards downfield is at the top of our offseason wish list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a TERRIBLE throw and I am a huge Josh fan. He literally missed it by ten yards. From the endzone view, when Josh looked and threw, DiMarco was two yards past his one defender. It was way, way short. DiMarco had to completely stop, wait, and then jump. If Josh threw it well it could have been a TD, except he probably would have been caught from behind but maybe not. But when the ball was released he was open. That said, he did time the jump bad, and he probably should have caught it. But he's not at all a good receiver despite some claims and his 52 catches in 8 seasons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even the logic is stupid IMO. They think, and have said publicly, and a bunch of people applauded the idea, that they put him out there, and the defense has to adjust by putting in an extra linebacker to compensate. SO WHAT?! Then they split him out and is easily covered and never makes a play. How about keeping him on the bench and have an extra WR out there against an extra CB but who can actually make a play! The Lee Smith/DiMarco offense especially late and in OT was shocking, and stupid, to me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. He was lined up outside and ran a go from the jump- And in case you're wondering about play design, consider the deep post here is being run by none other than Lee Smith 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
